what wrestlers do you use?

as the subject name says, i'm just wondering out loud what wrestlers we all use, ie, mostly WWE guys, big guys, old school, etc.

I myself use alot of independant smaller (very rarely heavyweights anyway) wrestlers such as Trent Acid, The Hart Foundation 2004 (Ted Hart, Jack Evans, TJ Wilson and Harry Smith), Hallowicked, Joker, Sonjay Dutt, Deranged, Jody Fleisch, Insane Dragon, BJ Whitmer, Jay Lethal (who is my MEGA Champion) and Jay Briscoe (my NBPW Champion). There are others, too many too mention, but the majority of my roster's are indy guys with the odd WWE guy, like i have Jeff Hardy and Tajiri.

I tend to use guys who have been famous in the States since I, and one would assume anyone who reads it, can relate to them much better since I know exactly who I'm dealing with. I mean, someone like Mitsuhara Misawa may be the greatest wrestler ever, but I've never seen the guy and thus wouldn't get behind him much. I think the closest to obscure I have is Jody Fleisch, and he's pretty well known, demonstrated by you listing him.

It depends on what I'm going for but I have used guys from all around the spectrum (Indy, America, Mexico, Japan) because I watch it all.  The only thing I don't use is some of the indy guys I don't recognize (because the only indy imput I get is from a PWI magazine here and there and what I know from around here) though I try and look guys I don't know up and fnid profiles on them so I at least can get a small idea about them.

I love the mystery wrestler button.  I use that more than I actually hire guys.  I like being able to give guys a trial for a match or three before I hire them.  And sometimes, I end up with a better selection than I would have picked on my own.  My last guy was Ahmed Johnson and he's really been tearing it up.  I love the guy.

I tend to use the WWE guys, some indy guys, and very few Japanese imports.  For example, my top draw in my circuit is Dean Malenko, fresh off of his feud with Christopher Daniels.  Booker T, Jun Akiyama, and Ken Shamrock have also received big pushes in my fed.  The next big angle I'm planning is going to involve a stable made up of Randy Orton, Reckless Youth, and AJ Styles.

Right now I run a Smackdown fed so that narrows that down.  Now my other feds I use a mix of TNA, WWE and retired/passed on wrestlers.  I almost always use Owen as he is my favorite.  I also tend to have the Hart Foundation in a lot of feds.  Some others I almost always use are Bill DeMott, Al Snow, Chris Benoit and William Regal.

I use a mix of real and created wrestlers. I've been in some e-feds and have some of those guys still saved and run matches with them against the real wrestlers.
